Discussion

RETIRED: Poppler Multiple Denial of Service and Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities

Poppler is prone to multiple denial-of-service and memory-corruption vulnerabilities when handling malformed PDF files.

Successfully exploiting these issues allows remote attackers to crash applications that use the vulnerable library, denying service to legitimate users. Due to the nature of some of these issues, arbitrary code execution may be possible, but this has not been confirmed.

Poppler 0.22.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

This BID is being retired. The following individual records exist to better document the issues:

59364 Poppler CVE-2013-1788 Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities
59363 Poppler CVE-2013-1789 Multiple Denial of Service Vulnerabilities
59366 Poppler CVE-2013-1790 Memory Corruption Vulnerability

Exploit / POC
